Six Days At Tangerang Hospital Cipto's Condition Is Improved, But Doctors Say They Are Still Referred To RSCM

TANGERANG Cipto (45), a man with a severe obesity of 200 Kilograms (Kg) from Pinang, Tangerang City, was referred to RSCM, Central Jakarta. Cipto was treated at the Tangerang City Hospital for 6 days. However, he was transferred to the RSCM because medical equipment was more complete.

Ristanto, Cipto's older brother, said that while being treated at the Tangerang City Hospital, Cipto had good progress. He said his younger brother had lost weight. Cipto is better than before.

"Alhamdulillah, there is, rather than at home, you can't do anything. Now you can move, you can move. This morning I asked a bit better, it's not so sick (his leg)," said Ristanto to reporters at the Tangerang City Hospital, Tuesday, July 11.

Ristanto explained that Cipto had problems with the heart due to weight reaching hundreds of kilograms.

Although the doctor had been treated at the Tangerang City Hospital, Cipto had to be referred to the RSCM. RSCM is the destination because the hospital has adequate tools to handle Cipto.

"Yes, earlier, if the Public Relations Mother (Humas RSUD Tangerang City) said the equipment was lacking, so she had to be referred to the RSCM," he said.

Meanwhile, regarding the medical expenses at the RSCM, Ristanto admitted that he was not worried because it was borne by BPJS Kesehatan.

"Currently? Yes (financing using BPJS)," he concluded.
